yesterday i was helping my buddy put on his header on his neon and when he was tightening the bolts one of the bolts broke in half leaving half the scrw in the hole and the other half broke. but all the rest were put on fine. is this bad and could we get the bolt out any way? will there be a leak since on of the bolts are not there? help i dunno

no, it shouldn't leak. when i put mine on i accidently cross threaded it and screwed up the threads on the head. so i'm running without one. the VERY end one on the passenger side (THERE YOU GO GUYS. THERE'S MY SECRET. IT'S OUT!) but to get it out go to your local hardware store and buy an EZ-OUT. not sure if that's still a brand. and they tell you what to do on the package. basically drill a hole in the bolt and then use the tool. it grips the sides of the hole and backs the bolt out
